Administrative Relations — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

Focus on memorizing specific constitutional articles (256-263) with their exact provisions and scope. Create comparison charts between different types of centre-state relations. Memorize All India Services details - creation process, current services, and their roles.

Practice questions on Inter-State Council composition, functions, and establishment timeline. Pay special attention to mutual delegation provisions under Articles 258 and 258A with practical examples.

Study landmark judgments, especially State of West Bengal vs Union of India for Article 256 limitations. Keep updated with current affairs on GST Council decisions, Inter-State Council meetings, and administrative coordination during crises.

Use elimination techniques by understanding the specific scope of each constitutional provision.
